Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Stade Brestois 29 1.38 xG and Clermont Foot 1.07 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Stade Brestois 29 attack 1.059 / defence 1.046 | Clermont Foot attack 0.944 / defence 0.955. League average goals — home 1.366 / away 1.085.

Result probabilities: Stade Brestois 29 42% | Draw 31% | Clermont Foot 27%. Fair-value odds: Stade Brestois 29 2.38 | Draw 3.23 | Clermont Foot 3.69. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 44% | BTTS Yes probability 51% | Total xG 2.46. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 56% — total xG of 2.46 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS Yes at 51% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Stade Brestois 29 are the pick at 42% — marginal model lean. The head-to-head data (Stade Brestois 29 3 wins from 4 H2H matches) corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 31% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Stade Brestois 29 offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 2.46 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 56% probability — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging 2.8 goals per game across 4 H2H matches points the other way.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 51%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Stade Brestois 29 50% (last 10 home games) | Clermont Foot 80% (last 10 away games).
